Are you joining Seattle PD? If so, reapply to Everett PD and I may see you there in the future as I am looking to apply again. They go back and forth with Kirkland on who pays the most which starting pay is like 73k/year there, and their department is squared away; I have two Marine buddies there right now now and they love it. I have a buddy at Seattle PD and last I heard he is sick of it. Seattle cant keep cops on the force because they have all their hands tied. They cant do shit. Good luck with whatever you do though and you will figure out quickly what is good and what isn't. It's a beautiful place that I never want to leave.
thanks buddy! No I am not joining any police departments. I wouldn’t leave Illinois State Police for any other police departments honestly. I am just headed to corporate America route there
